Beat sugar, eggs, and salt until thick and lemon-colored. Mix in the vanilla and jam until smooth and well-blended. Stir in the melted butter until well-blended, then stir in cocoa and flour. Add chocolate chips.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until set. The brownies will be soft and moist, but shouldn’t be runny in the center. If a toothpick comes out with batter, let them bake a little longer.

Make sure to let them cool properly after baking; they are actually soft and moist and will stick to the knife if they’re not cool enough.
